In this inspiring episode of A Wise and Happy Life, host Bob Martin welcomes Rob Tracz — strength coach, high-performance mentor, and host of Surviving the Side Hustle. Rob shares how lessons from the weight room became the foundation for his personal and professional transformation.
After years of burnout, 17-hour workdays, and the loss of his father, Rob realized that true strength isn’t measured in pounds lifted but in the resilience, reflection, and courage to change course. Together, Bob and Rob explore the power of “showing up,” finding balance, and building emotional and mental fitness as intentionally as physical strength.
If you’ve ever struggled with burnout, loss, or the search for purpose, this conversation offers grounded wisdom for creating balance, strength, and happiness — inside and out.
